RELEASE

BlackBerry Manager 1.0.0.18

Changelog:

* Now downloads the BlackBerry apps directly from Play Store and patches them on the device

* Fixed bug that caused progressbar to disapear after installing an app and then starting a new download

* Back button now finishes the app (only if no download or patching is in progress)

* Minor bugfixes and optimizations

Known issues:

* If permissions of BlackBerryManager itself are removed during runtime (by using the built in permissions dialog), an empty dialog may be shown. No big deal, but maybe good to know.

You can download BlackBerry Manager from the first post or directly from http://cobalt232.github.io/blackberrymanager/

Enjoy!

Thanks for this OP.

When I try to install Blackberry Services through the BlackBerry Manager app it says "File not available". Is there a workaround?

I have a Nexus 6P running 6.0.1.
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Sorry, my bad. A bug in the authentication code. Now fixed. Remove old version and install new one (1.0.0.19).
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
UPDATE AVAILABLE

BlackBerry Manager 1.0.0.19

Changelog:

* Bugfix: Authenticator now correctly asks for AC2DM and ANDROIDMARKET permissions on first run. The bug did not appear if you had BB Manager 1.0.0.17 beta installed, because the beta requested the permissions correctly

* Bugfix: Selfupdater now also works if Play Store connection failed for some reason

* Bugfix: Automatic update notifications now work again (was broken in 1.0.0.18)

Download the update here: http://cobalt232.github.io/blackberrymanager/

Remove the old version before installing the new one.
[Android Apps and Games] saj222:
Thanks for the quick action OP. Everything seems to be working now.

When patching it seems to take a good 3 to 4 minutes. Is that normal?
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Patching time is depending on your device performance. On my Samsung S6 it takes max 30 sec.
[Android Apps and Games] ermanzil:
Is der bb manager for 5.x roms
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
No, only 6.x. Almost all BlackBerry apps work only on 6.x anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] Apache0c:
From the first post it looks like this works on 5.1.1 but once you get to the download page it says 6.0 only?

Why bbm didn't show in hub?

I read, must install BBM in blackberry manager

But In my blackberry manager nothing has bbm

Can you fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Get it from the repository in BlackBerry Manager (com.bbm).

Thanks. Are you talking about the link to mycloud.ch?
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] jkcz:
The Notes app crashes, Hub works fine though. The Launcher is nice with the widget shortcuts for certain apps but the icons are huge and the app drawer is a bit messy so I went back to the stock launcher for now.

Running on an all stock marshmallow LG G4 H815. Just a tip for those who want to be able to swipe into the hub: use an app called All in one Gestures from Play Store, it lets you launch apps by swiping in from the side of the screen.

[MENTION=6001224]cobalt232[/MENTION], I've been using your patched apps successfully ever since you released them, on all manner of devices. :good::good:

However, since the last update that seems to tie BlackBerry Manager to Google Play, I've noticed a few oddities:

1) Hub won't sync with Exchange anymore - I just get an 'Account syncing' notification from BlackBerry Services, which IIRC is normal, but it should go away and the account actually syncs. Now it stays indefinitely and the account doesn't sync up to date.

2) Google Play Services recognizes my Oneplus X as a Priv

3) BlackBerry Manager shows no entry for BBM - if I download it directly from the Play Store, I get no Hub integration

I tried reverting to an older version of BlackBerry Manager, but when trying to download the apps, it says 'file not available'.

My best luck now is coming from installing each of the pre-patched apps individually, except I still have no Exchange sync with HUB; just the 'Account syncing' notification.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ken
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
1. Your Exchange sync issues are not related to BlackBerry Services. As you tried the prepatched Services and the problem persists, it must be something else.

2. BBM is no longer available in BlackBerry Manager because it can't be auto-patched. You can use the prepatched version from the repository option.

3. Strange, but that shouldn't cause any problems.
[Android Apps and Games] kgr:
Thanks man.

I'm beginning to wonder if its gapps. So I'm doing a clean flash and trying again :)

cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] ladiajy2g:
I am facing a similar issue. I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 5 running Marshmallow. Everything else worked fine, only Blackberry Messenger does not integrate with the Blackberry Hub. Really Strange to me. All other accounts are visible in the Hub, but BBM messages does not show up in the Hub. Am considering wiping the phone totally and re-installing all apps. Will update on how that turns out. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Download the pre-patched version of bbm from the repository in BlackBerry Manager.
[Android Apps and Games] kgr:
Must have been the gapps package I was using, which is weird because I've been using opengapps for ages, and this just randomly messed up on the weekend. I downloaded slimgapps and it works all good now after a clean flash.

If you don't have BBM integration in the HUB, and BBM isn't available for install from the BlackBerry Manager app, all you need to do is uninstall any existing version of BBM and download the pre-patched standalone BBM apk from the OP (second link)

Fantastic!

After spending three days trying to find an email app that would allow me to see my two email accounts and SMS in the same screen, I stumbled on this! I've installed it on my MOTO X Pure and it works perfectly. Having been a Z10 user, this app has now restored me back to the functionality and efficiency I once had. Now to figure out how to restore that BB unlock screen - which was awesome!!

I'l be returning this device (weak cell radio and lacks a notification LED) and will likely end up with a much more expensive Samsung.

Nice job! And thanks for your efforts!

Go to permissions and disable device admin permission for BlackBerry Services. Then it can be removed.

then I saw your thread and choose to install this BB Manager. But the calendar crashes, and contacts ...well it does nothing. But leaving contacts aside, how to solve at least the calendar crash? can I install the calendar from the other thread?

Many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Newer Calendar versions seem to have issues on some devices. Try to install an older version from the repository.
[Android Apps and Games] a_petrov303:
first of all thank you for help and also for this great app!

yes, I have tried indeed the oldest version from the rep. There are 3 there as I could see: the curent, a previous one (1.2.2...) and oldest (1.2.1....)

I have tried the oldest with the same problem.

Shall I try the calendar version which I had working before? It came from a different thread though...

Hi cobalt, is there any way to get dark theme in hub?
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Sorry, no. Dark theme is not implemented by BlackBerry and I'm not modding the apps. Just compatibility fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Download the latest version of BlackBerry Manager, which is 1.0.0.23.
[Android Apps and Games] scatterthought:
I didn't know how much I missed BB apps

Cobalt, I'll add my thanks to the chorus of grateful users!

Would it be possible to upload a patched version of the last-known working calendar? I found the 1.1.0.4753 version that someone mentioned getting to work, but I can't get it to install on my phone. Not a big deal, since other calendar apps still work even though the synchronization is going through the Hub. It'd just be a bonus if I could access calendar entries from the Hub's pull-down agenda. Also, I recall the BB calendar being very good.
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:

All running perfect on a Samsung A5(2016) with stock TW 6.0.1

Wow cobalt232, good stuff! Samsung A5 (2016) running TW6.0.1. Followed your steps below, added BBM from the repository, everything but the keyboard* works well and hooks up to what I already have.

That hub, the device-wide search, I never thought there would be the day BB impressed me again with something.

* The keyboard installs well, settings can be found under shortcuts but it doesn't show up anywhere as something to select?!
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
You need to set the keyboard as default keyboard in Android settings. Then configure it according to your needs. It must all be done manually, because BlackBerry doesn't provide a setup wizard. Good luck!

I tried using the launcher navkey fix in the repository, but it doesn't change anything. Is there an app I can use to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Did you remove Launcher first and then install the version with Navkey fix? Do not install Navkey fix over existing installation.
[Android Apps and Games] mario_foo:
Yes, I unistalled it and rebooted before installing the fix :\ Should I have cleared data and cache too?

Calendar works well on Galaxy S7, however, I can't seem to change notification tone no matter what I try. It is never saved.

Thank you and great job on the software.
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
It's a known bug with calendar notification. Currently no fix available. Maybe BlackBerry will improve that in the next release.

[Android Apps and Games] scatterthought:
Cobalt, will you continue to patch the apps now that BB has released Hub+ to all devices with an ad-based/subscription model? I'm grateful that you reminded me how good the Hub is, but I'll shift to using the Hub+ suite. I don't consider the $0.99/month subscription to be a big deal, and want to support BB's developers so that they'll continue to improve the apps. However, I appreciate that others on this forum may not feel the same as I do.

Thanks for your excellent work!

My question is about usage. Is there a swipe to get to the hub, or do you have to be using the launcher as well?

Best thing so far with this, the Blackberry Keyboard. I have always loved that.
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Swipe gestures to launch apps are only available on the BlackBerry version of Android OS.

You could use a gestures app from play store to be able to swipe into the hub from the side of the screen. I use one called All in one Gestures which works perfectly.

Is modding the app to toggle or set dark theme a possibility? (for me to do my own I mean...)

Sure, you can do. You can grab the latest file with BlackBerry Manager. Just install an app or repair an app and cancel Android installer when it pops up. The file can then be found in the BlackBerry Manager folder on your device.

You need ApkTool and a lot of Java programming skills. Its not just flipping some values and the it's done. Everything must be inversed (Theme, icons, activities). Most likely, the result will look crappy.

Anyway, good luck.
